Twh V'," 'V^i e-^tra strong growth, with an 
abundance of dark, bluish-green. finely crimped 
leaves growing closely about the large flattened 
heads. It should be planted by the middle of 
June to produce the best results, as the heads 
are of such enormous size thev require a longer 
time to mature than some of the earlier and 
smaller sorts. 
It is a wonderfully long keeper anO of mo.st 
delicious flavor. As the outer leaves are closely 
packed about the head— not spreading as in 
many sorts, they can be planted closer together 
and will produce more heads and more weight 
per acre than any other variety— Hollander

the 3oth century. The most valuable pickling variety ever introduced 
It IS of the hardy, white spine type, a rapid, strong anil vigorous grower 
and the most prolific variety in existence, the vines being full of fruit in 
nil stages of development from the time the first blossoms drop until 
killed by frost. As will be seen by the illustration, the fruit is tliieklv 
studded with fine spines over the entire surface. In form it is exception- 
ally straight and symmetrical and the fruits very uniform in size The 
flesh is very firm but crisp at all stages, thus rendering it equally as 
choice for slicing asfor pickling. Pkt. loc, oz. 25c, 1-4 lb. 60c. Lb. $2 00

Lemon Cucumber (Scp cut opposite page.) a new and 
fTt^i V. • entirely distinct type of the Cucumber 
tamllv. This remarkable novelty IS very distinct in appearance and a 
decidedly valuable actjuisition. In appearance it is nearly round some- 
times slightly oval, with the yellow and green markings and smooth 
skin of the lemon. The flesh is exceedingly tender and cris" with a 
, sweet pleasing flavor unlike that of any other sort. It is entirely free 
itter acrid taste so often found in othereucurabers and is good, clear through from end to 
They are excellent for slicing and for table use are unsurpassed, being served whole— Thev 
are also very fine for pickling cither in the green or ripe state and are very attractive on account 
of their novel shape They can also be used the same as melons for mangoes. While thev are good 
at all stages of development, they are best just as they are turning yellow. In size they average 
about as large as a good size lemon though much larger specimens have been grown. This is cer 
tainly a most attractive variety and on account of its uniformlv good flavor should 
largely both for home and market use. Pkt. of so sesds, 10c.
